Everything Must Go!

I have to get rid of a lot of my music and I posted a few things up on eBay. A lot of it has been posted on Tone and Wave before and a lot of it has not been.

Click HERE you might see something you like.

I am not doing this for financial reasons and I am not trying to make a profit. I will combine shipping and if I over charge for shipping I will refund the difference.

I just don't have the room for them in my house and I might have to put them in my shed. With the weather, stray cats, and spiders they will not fare well in the shed.

I had several crates of new wave records out in the shed a couple years back and the warm California sun decided that round flat records are boring and that they should take on all different sorts of shapes.

I don't want to see these rare ska records suffer the same fate as my Flock of Seagulls collection. (Yes, I had them all - you got somethin' to say about it?!)

Some are really well priced and some aren't (you can tell which ones I don't really want to part with). If it's too expensive, talk to me...let's make a deal.

The Agents - Double Agents (1986)

This is a band from Texas (Austin, I believe). They were not a ska band. As far as I know they had two releases - one in 1983 called "Square One", and this one. The first track on this record is called "Reggae Beat" so people jump to the conclusion that this is a ska/reggae record. To give you an idea of what they sound like, when I was ripping this record my wife came in and asked me why I was listening to the Housemartins.
There is only one song here that is worthy of Tone and Wave, but due to it's rarity I am posting the whole thing.

 

1 Reggae Beat
2 Star Avenue
3 The Way of All Flesh
4 Don't Need Your Lovin'
5 Never Fell Before
6 Swept Away
7 Unconditional Love
8 Space-Touch
9 Feel It
10 My Time, My Life
11 Share and Share Alike

Splashdown - It's a Brand New Day 7" (1982)

This record was produced by Neville Staples and Lynval Golding and was released on Neville's Shack Records label. The back-up studio band here is made up of a member or two of Fun Boy Three's studio band. Neither track is actually ska but both fit in with the non-ska 2 Tone bands like the Apollinaires and The Friday Club.

I posted this due to seeing it on eBay recently with the alternative Red Bus Records cover. Look at this incredible work of art:




A - It's a Brand New Day
B - Actions Speak Louder Than Words

I have also included the only other Shack Records release that I have which is the 21 Guns single (previously posted on Tone and Wave HERE)
